But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.
Design works if it's authentic inspired and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.
Life inspires more dread than death - it is life which is the great unknown.
The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling the death of inspired response the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.
My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player Ted Larsen.
I started off playing the clarinet after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.
I love being a dad it keeps me fit and inspired and children are so funny. They always supply you with acting material!

I mean I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when I was one I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just they are crazy they are just like yes well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope.
The question I've come to think is not what inspires one to change but what inspires one to remain changed.
We the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes we can. In times of great change and tumult presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity.
Creative thinking inspires ideas. Ideas inspire change.
As you navigate through the rest of your life be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you spend a lot of time with them and it will change your life.
Perhaps the most effective way to describe the approach a brand must take is to think of themselves as social cartographers.
